UNSPECIFIED, IRAN - APRIL 5: (EDITOR'S NOTE: This Handout photo was provided by a third-party organization and may not adhere to Getty Images' editorial policy.) Wreckage is seen from what Iranian authorities say is a U.S. military helicopter that crashed during a mission to rescue the missing American pilot of an F-15E that was downed earlier this week, in a handout image provided on April 5, 2026 in an unspecified location in Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump has said on social media that the Air Force officer has been successfully rescued by U.S. Special Operations forces. Iranian officials have disputed Trump's claim and have said the search operation for the airman is ongoing. (Photo by Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance/Handout via Getty Images)
